Context menu icons

55 votes

It would be really nice to have some subtle icons in the context menu when right-clicking on branches or commits. For example a red X for the delete branch or a PR icon for submit a pull request. The reason I'd like this is because the context menu is becoming longer and harder to find the options I need quickly.

yes i agree !with the number of elements in the right click it would be super nice icons because even with the usual I waste all the time looking for the line.

Yes PLEASE add icons to the context menu for the most common actions.

Indeed the menu is quite big now, and changes based on its context. As a result, :
- it can take time to find the action we want, especially on screen with a very high resolution
- we can click on the wrong actions which is quite frustrating

Absolutely agree! Please add icons for the main context menu actions to find the right option more easily/quickly.

As a GitKraken user, I spend a considerable amount of time looking at the long context menu and trying to figure out which option I need. This would make that a lot easier, I hope.

Agreed, same here,
The context menu is too long.
Either add icons, or add submenus. The context menu is already grouped, maybe adding submenus instead of icons could be an idea.

But it would really help to have icons, at least for important tasks like :
Pull, push, merge, create PR, delete branch, switch, create tag
